"Charles Portis is perhaps the most original, indescribable talent overlooked by literary culture in America." —Ron Rosenbaum, Esquire

"One of the pure pleasures available in American literature..."Esquire"How good is this novel? One Portis fan couldn’t decide whether to marry the woman he loved until she read Norwood. This publication marks a chance for listeners to discover the least known great writer in America." --Ron Rosenbaum, Esquire

Out of the American Neon Desert of Roller Domes, chili parlors, The Grand Ole Opry, and girls who want "to live in a trailer and play records all night" comes ex-marine and troubadour Norwood Pratt. Sent on a mission to New York by Grady Fring, the Kredit King, Norwood has visions of "speeding across the country in a late model car, seeing all the sights." Instead, he gets involved in a wild journey that takes him in and out of stolen cars, freight trains, and buses. By the time he returns home to Ralph, Texas, Norwood has met his true love, Rita Lee, on a Trailways bus; befriended Edmund B. Ratner, the second shortest midget in show business and "the world’s smallest perfect fat man"; and helped Joann, "the chicken with a college education," realize her true potential in life. As with all of Portis’ fiction, the tone is cool, sympathetic, funny, and undeniably American.
